ABSTRACT

Berlin now ceased to figure on the list of immediate Soviet objectives, and STAVKA instead wove plans for an ‘East Pomeranian Operation.’ This was a set-piece offensive on a frontage of two hundred kilometres and was assigned to the adjacent flanks of two army groups—the right, or eastern, flank of Zhukov’s 1st Belorussian Front, and the left or western flank of Rokossovskii’s 2nd Belorussian Front.
